I listened to Bill Bennett and tons of other talk show hosts who talked about that and other policies and started branching out and caring about other issues in regards to politics.

I believe that this is the key, the principle itself is the key to conservatism. Because in many ways if you do not have a principled base you do not have policy and if you do not have policy in many ways you do not have an ideology.

The president hasn't come after me yet, but we've had other people come after me!

Conservatism is not about the party, because the party is merely the shell. It is the inside - it's the filling that really means something.

In the book I define conservatism, as I believe it is fit upon four categories of principle: respect for The Constitution, respect for life, less government, and personal responsibility.

As I've been acting since I was young it's taught me to give a good speech, and, though I say so myself, I did it pretty well.

I want the American people to understand that conservatism... is an ideology of protecting the people and the people's rights.
